After my 121 yesterday I was keen to get out today and practice.
We get a lot of gulls on the river, and often other birds too...ducks, herons, osprey, oystercatchers etc.
The osprey did make a short appearance today but didn't dive that I could see.
Also saw a buzzard flying very high overhead.
Gulls we're my main targets today as I am practicing birds in flight, its harder than it looks! They always make me laugh as they come in to land on the water as they kind of belly flop and face plant the water as they land!
A heron gave me a little show as it flew across the water, such a huge wingspan! It didn't stay for too long as it was getting dive-bombed by the gulls!
Off to Oban tomorrow and looking forward to seeing wildlife on the west coast!
